The advantages of using Kerberos in your network are: The Kerberos protocol uses strong cryptography so that a client can prove its identity to a server (and vice versa) across an insecure network connection. After a client and server has used Kerberos to prove their identity, they can also encrypt all of their communications to assure privacy and data integrity as they go about their business.
The disadvantages of using Kerberos are: Migrating user passwords from a standard UNIX password database, such as /etc/passwd or /etc/shadow, to a Kerberos password database can be tedious, as there is no automated mechanism to perform this task.
Kerberos has only partial compatibility with the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) system used by most Red Hat Enterprise Linux servers
Kerberos assumes that each user is trusted but is using an untrusted host on an untrusted network. Its primary goal is to prevent unencrypted passwords from being transmitted across that network. However, if anyone other than the proper user has access to the one host that issues tickets used for authentication — called the key distribution center (KDC) — the entire Kerberos authentication system is at risk.
For an application to use Kerberos, its source must be modified to make the appropriate calls into the Kerberos libraries. Applications modified in this way are considered to be Kerberos-aware, or kerberized. For some applications, this can be quite problematic due to the size of the application or its design. For other incompatible applications, changes must be made to the way in which the server and client communicate. Again, this may require extensive programming. Closed-source applications that do not have Kerberos support by default are often the most problematic.
Kerberos is an all-or-nothing solution. If Kerberos is used on the network, any unencrypted passwords transferred to a non-Kerberos aware service is at risk. Thus, the network gains no benefit from the use of Kerberos. To secure a network with Kerberos, one must either use Kerberos-aware versions of all client/server applications that transmit passwords unencrypted, or not use any such client/server applications at all.…...

Kerberos security model:
Kerberos is a security protocol invented by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) for computer networks. Using key encryption, Kerberos allows both client and server to mutually verify each other's identity in order to safely transfer data over an otherwise unsecured connection. Since its inception, Kerberos has gained the acceptance of numerous major entities and continues to grow.
When a user logs in, an authentication service verifies the user's identity and grants an encrypted ticket, which contains identification credentials (such as a randomly-created session key) and only works for a limited time of eight hours. A user decrypts the ticket with his password and the credentials are stored in the user's cache to gain access to the intended service. Once the time is up, the user will have to log in once again and request a new ticket. The ticket is destroyed when a user logs out.
Compared to a firewall, which offers protection from outside attacks but limits the actions a user can perform, Kerberos allows a user to continue to safely operate over an unsecured connection by encrypting the data transfer without limiting a user's abilities.
Because Kerberos requires mutual client and server verification, it prevents phishing by keeping malicious entities from posing as the server......

...Assignment 3: Mobile Computing and Social Networking.In this research paper, I will compare and contrast how Mobile computing technology is used to monitor patient’s vital signs. Vital signs are comprised of: body temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, sugar levels, oxygen levels, and respiratory rates. Vital signs can be taken using mobile technology today, and this gives patients and health care providers more flexibility. In the past, patients were required to travel to the doctor’s office or a hospital and have their vital signs tested. Typically, a nurses and clinicians would oversee and be responsible for the taking and recording of the vitals manually documenting them with a mobile computer or the results were written on paper and the clinician left the patients room to manually document into the electronic chart using computers. At times, this documentation happened hours later when time permitted. The vitals were hard to take in some cases and errors were not uncommon. These stats are a tool used to communicate patient deterioration to healthcare providers and sadly it also was not uncommon for clinical decisions regarding a patients care to be made using outdated vitals.
With today’s technology, patient care can be a lot more effective. The use of smart phones and broadband-enabled devises has allowed patients to do their own monitoring of vital signs and body functions and upload them to their medical provider’s clinical servers. They even have the......

Dr. Gideon U. Nwatu
ABSTRACT
Virtualization is simply when a virtual version of a device or resources such as server, a storage device, network or even an operating system, which divides the resources into one or more execution environment is created.
Virtualization has provided greater efficiency in CPU utilization, save energy (less energy consumption), greener IT, and better management through central environment control, reduce project timelines by eliminating hardware procurement, improved disaster recovery capability. Virtualization is sure the best innovation in the IT environment of the present age. The core idea behind virtualization is to make efficient use of hardware resources, such as CPU, memory and disk. In any computing environment it’s highly unlikely that hardware resources are being used to their full capacity. For example a typical desktop does not use more than 10% of its hardware resources under normal operational conditions.
By using hardware virtualization, we can more effectively distribute our hardware resources among multiple virtual instances of operating systems according to that particular environment computing needs. Virtualization provides a mean to dynamically allocate hardware resources when needed and essentially unbinding software from hardware. Thus bringing down the overall requirements for hardware, which ultimately result in reduction......

1. Why is information security a management problem? What can management do that technology cannot?
Both general management and IT management are responsible for implementing information security to protect the ability of the organization to function.
Decision-makers in organizations must set policy and operate their organization in a manner that complies with the complex, shifting political legislation on the use of technology. Management is responsible for informed policy choices and the enforcement of decisions that affect applications and the IT infrastructures that support them. Management can also implement an effective information security program to protect the integrity and value of the organization’s data.
2. Why is data the most important asset an organization possesses? What other assets in the organization require protection?
Data is important in the organization because without it an organization will lose its record of transactions and/or its ability to deliver value to its customers. Since any business, educational institution, or government agency that functions within the modern social context of connected and responsive service relies on information systems to support these services, protecting data in motion and data at rest are both critical.
Other assets that require protection include the ability of the organization to function, the safe operation of applications, and technology assets.

Assignment 3 is a structured assignment. You must complete the questions in order. This is a short capstone assignment that will take us briefly through the research process.
Let’s pretend that we’re all taking an ENGL 1001 class this semester and that we are required to write a paper on a current event, issue, or controversy. As part of our research for the paper, we are required to complete an annotated bibliography. An annotated bibliography is a list of citations to books, articles, and documents. Each citation is followed by a brief (usually about 150 words) descriptive and evaluative paragraph, the annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to inform the reader of the relevance, accuracy, and quality of the sources cited. Our instructor has informed us that we need to use 6 total sources for our annotated bibliography:
* 3 must be scholarly journal articles
* 3 can be a mix of popular articles, reference sources, internet sources, images, statistical sources, etc.
* The information must be current, and must not have publication dates or cover dates before the year 2000
* You must cite articles in the APA style.
We know that the first thing we should do as researchers is look up the topic in a reference source to gain a bit of knowledge about the topic, become familiar with the vocabulary used to write about and discuss the topic, and to start noting the cited references included in entries that will lead us to...

Attempting to establish an internship with Pfizer Inc at this point in time is not in the best interest of Daniel University or its students. The first reason that makes Pfizer Inc. a less than ideal match for Daniel University's internship program is its history of ethical misconduct, especially bribery. In addition, the loss of market exclusivity of Lipitor has resulted in a sharp decline in sales as cheaper generic options have cut into Pfizer's market share. Finally, the decline in sales as a result of the loss of market exclusivity on drugs such as Lipitor has forced Pfizer Inc to resort to drastic cost cutting measures, which may hamper the company's growth potential in the long run and leave post-internship employment prospects for Daniel University students bleak.

...Assignment 3 LONG TERM INVESTMENT DECISION
The grocery food market is filled with various options for microwavable food depending on the preferences of the consumers. Instead of the traditional use of the oven many families now use the microwave because of their busy lifestyles. The variety of healthy low calorie -microwave food has made shopping much easier for today’s busy consumer. Low calorie labels are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and require food “labels claiming low-calories must not have more than 40 calories for a given reference amount (except sugar substitutes)”. (The Calorie Control Council, 2014)
Healthy low-calorie microwave foods have come a long way since the first Swanson pre-packaged TV dinner in the 1950’s. The meal tray was heated in the oven and consisted of a small portion of meat, two vegetables and dessert. The top two competing manufacturers of microwavable low-calorie foods are Lean Cuisine owned by Nestle and Healthy Choice owned by ConAgra. Both leaders in the frozen food market began in the 80’s. Healthy Choice works rigorously with the FDA to assure foods qualify under government health standards for healthy low calorie foods. Like all businesses these two businesses need a financial business plan that allows them to assess the company’s results and set targets for future growth. Marketing is a vital part of the business plan.
Healthy low calorie microwave food as a health option is a concept which has gained......

Our organization is set up in a relatively flat design structure, there are two side to the business, operations and sales. On the operations side we have multiples businesses that work in conjuction with each other,we on boarding local CEOs who know the market trends of that area, as well as the cultural issues. To ensure that all the financial reporting is being standardized they bring over a Canadian VP finance. But the Brother are the major plays in all the decisions down, and the levels below them are setup to execute said decisions. With the majority of sales being in Canada they split the sales into two areas, retail such as No Frills, and food service such as The Works. Then also have started developing outside businesses to feed into the company right now they have set up a deliver company to ensure that they are able ensure timely deliveries in their supply chain.
With having a relatively flat design structure the company is able to implement change extremely quickly and that can give us a competitive advantage. But it also has its down side, one is motivation, as the Brothers are in the decision making business, it stops other from taking a leadership role because they know it will be done by the Brothers.
